The Lean-Left Chip Is a Fad. Ben Doyle Never Needed It | No More Lies Ep. 18

Sam is out again, so the Good Misses guys sit in. Brian Manzella, Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America, puts a question to Kieran Harris and JT Perrine: where did the lean-left, ball-back chip shot come from, and why is it suddenly everywhere? Neither of them saw anybody teach it 13 years ago. Brian never saw it in 44 years, not from the guys who played with his dad, not in college, not in one issue of Golf Digest.
Then the case against it. Ben Doyle taught the ball off the left foot and could take out a painted line in a bunker with a three wood. There is no mechanical requirement to be in front of the ball except your hands. The Nunez Tour is never going to hit the tour pitch shot, not next week and not after a month at Streamsong. And the 100-golfer contest: wrist-only pitching vs. no-wrist pitching, then the same contest with 100 yippers, and the flick drill that wins it.
Also: arc depth vs. low point defined on Trackman, why handle dragging is the root of most pitching yips, the rope and the three forces, the right-knee rule that shamed a generation from 1960 to the early 80s and then disappeared, Paul Runyan, Seve, Dan Grieve's 3 Releases, and why none of the above is the solution to the worldwide pitching yip epidemic.

Yes, there will be some amount of wrist action but that wrist action is a result of the following.....
1. Proper mechanics
2. Adhere to the correct order of movement
3. A swinging motion without tension in your hands, wrists, arms and shoulders.
* George Knudson said,
"We do nothing consciously with the hands, wrists and arms during the motion."
